callista22001 - I look at it just a bit differently but I fully agree
When someone makes an effort to correct a mistake, even if it is a half hearted attempt, nothing is gained by not letting them escape the corner they have painted themselves into. My attitude is that after I made my point, let them save a bit of face as the make a hasty exit.

It was a totally thoughtless thing to do, the material was thoughtless and
the person that sent it was not thinking. But to then try to fix it by saying it was a joke, well that was worse, why is it so hard for people to say i did a thoughtless thing and i am sorry. Its called taking responsibility for our thoughtless acts.

Some people don't think that much about complicating associations with humor.

bpitter2007 - why would you apologize for someone else's actions? I know it
wasn't you, it was instead a longtime nuisance that has had very little intelligent to say over the months.

sam444 - I don't consider it as being "treated badly", I have pity for the
perpetrator.

ZenMom - I agree that there are too many zealots kicking around but one is
too many.
I just received a follow up email that says it is all a misunderstanding. It was intended as a joke except that I wasn't laughing. I was disgusted by the implications. It is frightening to me that someone could find such material funny.

It is unfortunate you were treated so badly, the e-mail is unacceptable in any manner. You are raising eyebrows though. sam
